Book Cover & Preview Text
The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow is about real grief and real people dealing with it. With compassion and understanding, Wayne Triplett explores the journey through grief after the ultimate loss—the death of a child. If you are a parent who has lost a child, you will recognize yourself in this book, in all your pain, and you will be helped by learning that you are not alone. You can survive the death of a child. Bereaved parents face difficult emotions including shock, guilt, and anger; they face questions about faith. Triplett asks and answers the hard questions while providing practical counsel on making it through each stage of grief. Voices of other bereaved parents reach out and affirm that life is still worth living in the “new normal” and that a child is never truly lost. When Wayne’s son died of cancer, he searched for a book to ease his grief, only to find the greatest source of comfort in the Holy Bible. Wanting to minister to others, he has written The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow, a moving resource that reveals how God can truly heal the brokenhearted. When we lose a child, we sometimes feel that God has abandoned us. He hasn’t. When we lose a child, we may feel as if nothing matters. It does. When we lose a child, we may think life is not worth living. It is! “This book matters! I have read many volumes about grief and recovery. Most of those books were written by authors who had not experienced genuine loss of a child. Wayne has shared the loss of his son from his heart. This writing certifies that one can and must work through the grief process because life is worth living and living well.” —Dr. James M. (Jim) Gore, Pastor Emeritus – Millers Creek Baptist Church All proceeds from the sale of this book benefit the Kevin Wayne Triplett Memorial Scholarship Fund.
